  1. Thanks for posting. Stunning. It fell like a leaf on a windy day. Glad the pilot ejected and survived. I want to know what happened. Suzanne, please follow up as information becomes available.

        • Thanks Morrigan, I figured that this airplane lost power somehow, I just want to know how Greg can definitively state that the flight control surfaces were working at all with a loss of power, considering this thing flies mostly with a computer (which needs power).

    • I already said what occurred. The pilot was performing routine touch and go maneuvers. Jet lost power at 2000 ft above the deck. Pilot ejected, f35 pancaked into turned area. End of story.

  2. The F-35 is not a weapon system designed for an actual war. The few that successfully fly off well maintained airports are exceptional, but will not survive modern air defense.

    Typical welfare program for a pretend Alaska economy. The Pentagon pretends the failed aircraft concept is essential for national security and we pretend that we have a “free” economy.
